Mother Nature Plays Practical Joke on Minnesota

Today is the first day of Spring and mother nature thought it would be funny to play a practical joke on us Minnesotans.

Now, I knew it was suppose to snow starting last night, but I really didn't believe it was going to happen. After all, it is officially Spring and all. But I had the pleasure of waking up this morning to six inches of snow...and it is still coming down. Huge flakes that look like they are on loan from Colorado.

If you move to Minnesota, expect things like this to happen. While it is beautiful to see, it can be a little disappointing when you are itching to start spring plantings. But the kids LOVE it....call it a late snow day and some time out of school.

**Note: There have been at least two more inches dropped since I took this photo**
